Kenneth is a true gem. I came by on small business Saturday because I knew the store would be…read moregorgeous and I wanted to see if they had a baby's first Christmas ornament. Reader, he remembered us from a month ago--the only other time I've been in this store. I know he wasn't just saying that because he cooed over my baby and specifically remarked about the fact that she was awake this time instead of sleeping through the shopping trip (which was true). This is what makes shopping at local businesses so much fun; you get to established a rapport with someone who lives what they do, lives their neighbors, and wants to make sure that you enjoy shopping with them. Again as I came through I thought about how I wish I could hire an interior designer with Kenneth Ludwig on the shortlist. They didn't disappoint with their Christmas decor. They have lots of ornaments, all beautiful, and other holiday items. I REALLY love the stocking holders they have. They look like those old ceramic Christmas trees that lots of our grandmothers had, and it even lights up. I am almost certainly going to be returning before Christmas to pick up a couple. If you're in the neighborhood, I highly encourage a drop by.

I was searching for a small couch for my new house. I was dealing with a small, kind of awkward…read morespace and am a picky furniture shopper. I stopped by Kenneth Ludwig Chicago because I learned he sells CR Laine furniture and that is the brand I had my eye on. Upon arriving, Kenneth was welcoming and listened to what I wanted. He's so knowledgeable about furniture and design, not pushy at all, and patient. I've been in his store a few times and each experience was great. I did end up purchasing a settee from Kenneth and that was about 1.5 years ago. The buying process was simple. The small couch is still in great shape, easy to clean, and looks great in my house. It was on the pricier side of furniture, but I not a shocking price. I will consider going back to Kennth Ludwig Chicago when purchasing my next nice piece of furniture.

They had a great selection of decor, linens, cooking products, and other home accessories. I was really impressed by all the furniture! So many dressers, entryway tables, chairs, and nightstands to choose from. And lots and lots of mirrors! My friend and I had so much fun exploring the aisles. I ended up buying a couple mugs, some travel lunch boxes for my toddler, and throw pillows for our bed! The store was well stocked and very clean. The cashier checking us out was very friendly! I can't believe it has taken me so long to come here, but I will definitely be back!

The upholstery looked terrible because my cat totally tore up each one. I decided to look on Yelp and I found Recovered Interior. The reviews were great and Kylie got back to me immediately. I sent her photos and she gave me a quote, which was very fair. She also said that she would bring several swatches of material that she had in case one might work. When they came to pick up the chairs, I picked the material. I took a sharp knife and tried to cut through the sample, but it didn't make a mark! It's definitely cat proof. I told her that I would like the chairs back before my holiday party, and a week later they were back. They turned out fabulous! The padding that she added is great and she did a beautiful job. Everyone who has seen the chairs agrees. Thank you Kylie!!
